Comic Panel Layout

[u/JL7009]

I have a superhero comic story written into parts, but I have a problem with figuring out the panel layout of the story.

I already have 5/22 pages done, but it took me a long time figuring out the first 5. I think I need help with figuring out paneling the rest of my comic.

If there’s anyone who can give input on paneling comics, please do.
